Benefits street

Well, this is indeed a difficult subject area. As one who has earned an embarrassingly high salary for many years ( by some standards) and worked recently on the minimum wage (£6.08 per hour) of late, I feel that some of the residents of Benefits street should get a job. Full stop! ... OMG! have I said the wrong thing? Richard

A really interesting comment - "an embarrassingly high salary". I'm really interested in this - I agree that we now have a social stigma attached to earning higher amounts. Possibly because the fallout of the thatcher years?
